Get ready for some wins. Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I’m Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I’ve trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it’s the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It’s a practice, not a perfect. Let’s get started.

All right, Be It babe. How are you? Welcome to another FYF, another Fuck Yeah Friday. It’s because we need things like wins in our lives. We need fun times to celebrate the little things that we did and the little things that we’re doing. And you’ll hear my win, and you’ll hear how that’s a win in a second that might inspire you to send your wins in to beitpod.com/questions.

Lesley Logan 1:07
So I have, I have a thing in all my memberships where you have to celebrate your wins. And if you need a bitch, there is a bitch channel, that you have to go celebrate a win. And I hate when I have to go, oh, this is really terrible. This happened to you. You have to go celebrate a win, because you can’t just, like, dump your shit. You gotta go celebrate your win. But on the Be It Pod, we just have wins, right? And inspiring things, and wins, and wins can be small, big, all the things in between, but they’re yours, and I love sharing yours. So beitpod.com/questions is where you can send a win in and because it’ll come out a couple months after you send it, and then you’ll go, oh my god, I can’t believe I forgot that I did that thing. I am doing great things.

Lesley Logan 1:43
So before we get to your wins, these are 11 quotes that will hit you like a train. Lewis Hatchett, the link will be in this from Instagram. What a blessing to be tired in the pursuit of a challenge of your choosing. What a blessing to be tired in the pursuit of the challenge of your choosing. Yeah, I think we forget that we get to do this. I’m really grateful. Like, in the last couple of years, it’s really, I don’t get to go, I don’t go. Why am I doing this? Because I want, I’m doing all the things I want. Like, I woke up and I’m like, you’re doing all the things you want so you better, like, stop being tired. Like, those are, like, things people say around you that you pick up and you’re like, oh, I should say, oh, my god, I’m so busy. But like I’m excited. I’ve got good things going on. Okay? Another one. People may laugh at me because I’m different. I laugh at them because they’re all the same. I like that one. It’s nice. It’s a little petty, but I like it. You’re doubting yourself while others are terrified of your potential. Boom.

Lesley Logan 2:39
Your whole path can be determined by who you surround yourself with. So yes, be selective. We just talked about that in the episode that’s coming out with Corey Wynn. So yes, you’re getting close. That’s why it’s getting tough, right? It’s always harder at the top of the peak. Look at the way you struggle and tell me you’re not strong. Look at the way you struggle and tell me not strong. My goodness, like look at the things that you’re having to deal with you, the only way you could do that is if you were a strong person, you wouldn’t be given something you can’t struggle with, right? An underrated skill in people is the ability to suffer well. It’s not going to be smooth sailing, so it’s an underrated skill. Thank yourself for having it. You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do. You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do. Any lesson you refuse to learn will repeat itself until you do. Well, that’s true. So true. Vision without execution is just hallucination. Okay, that hits. Mistake that makes you humble is better than an achievement that makes you arrogant. Love those. Love, love, love, love those. You’ll hear a couple of these apply to the win I have in just a moment.

Lesley Logan 3:57
Now let’s get to your win. So we have a couple wins from @amandalgpilates. I led a group of very skilled B-level skydivers all weekend to earn specialized merit badges. That’s cool. That’s like, I don’t even know why they’re getting merit badges, but like, I love this. What a fun that’s gonna be inspiring. I’ll never skydive, but I love that for you. But also, she sent, my kid is officially nighttime potty-trained. We’re diaper free house again. You know what, Amanda, that is a fucking huge win. I don’t even have kids, and I imagine that that’s got to just feel like, like you got to be going, who needs these diapers? Where are these I mean, like, I’m sure, like, so many different things open up in your life. So what a win. Thanks for celebrating with us. I am just so excited for you. I know we have so many listeners who are like, yes, yes, go, Amanda. See, isn’t that fun to hear other people’s wins? You’re like, oh, that’s a win. I had a win like that, yeah, and you didn’t celebrate it. You got to celebrate it.

Lesley Logan 4:43
So my win. So okay, here’s the deal. I can’t tell you what it is. Some people know, but I’ve been working on something behind the scenes, something that’s been on my mind. I want to say October. So, you know, we’re coming, you know, half a year, but I’ve been working on it, and I’m really proud of where the first draft is, and I’m really excited to take action on it. And it’s a win, because I am with my ADHD, like, shiny object syndrome person, and it’s really easy for me to say I’m going to do something, and then, like, especially if people don’t know I’m going to do it, not that I’m not going to do it, because, like, my four tendencies, the tendency I have, is I’m going to do it, but I could just take a little longer with it. And this is something I did not want to take a long time with. I wanted to get it done in less than nine months, because the people who are going to use it are going to need it. So I’m extremely excited for what this has turned out to, how it’s challenged me, and it goes into that like a vision without action is just a hallucination. Like this is not a hallucination. This is going to be something that it’s going to challenge me in humongous ways. It’s going to make me have to be bigger and bolder and think in a different aspect. And I’m excited for that challenge. So anyways, my win is I’m working on the thing I said I work on without having to have accountability buddies everywhere to get it done. And I’m not saying that you should need that, like some people’s tendencies do. Read The Four Tendencies book if you haven’t ever done that. But sometimes we don’t have at least a deadline. It’s hard for all of us to do anything, because there’s other things that like take over and this one, nope, this one, this one, this one’s sticking, and this one’s gonna change people’s lives, and I’m super excited about it.

Okay, your affirmation. Calm and peace surround me. Calm and peace surround me. Calm and peace surround you, Be It, babe. All right. Thank you so much. Until next time, Be It Till You See It.
